#2Iconic design, but way too noisy and dirty. Article doesn't mention "electric" once.

Maybe because not everyone cares, while the planet gets destroyed with wars, private jets and AI centers?

#4I like Vespas, they're very stylish, but damn they are noisy, and not a nice rumble either but more like a very loud chainsaw. They give off a terrible amount of smoke compared more modern scooters too. I do often wonder why so few other new small motorcycles or scooters have similarly beautiful designs though.
However, for me, having lived in a country with a motorbike culture for the last decade, the coolest thing on two wheels is electric scooters. So much torque, range nearly equal to same sized gas scooters, and no pollution of the noise or smoke variety. It makes such a difference when everyone is zipping around on these quiet, non-stinking scooters. That's cool. Now it just needs someone to make an electric scooter design as iconic as a Vespa.

#5Thanks I hate it, extremely noisy and dirty. I really wish the brand dies with fossil fuels.

Thankfully all this stuff has been or is being killed by ebikes and escooters which are vastly better technology.

And that's relevant how? If you live in a city where everyone owns a petrol scooter it's absurd. Can't wait for all of these to be electric, it's just common sense.
